CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

CHRIS

"You did not know this, right? I am sure that she did not tell you about it. That woman really is one piece of work. I had no idea how my brother was able to stay married to her for so long," Dylan told me .

I had a feeling that he knew just why his brother married her.

"Is that so?" I asked, struggling to maintain a smile on my face..

I had to keep reminding myself that I was here for business.

"Yeah, she was a real nutjob. She caused so much trouble in my family when she married my brother. My mother was estranged from him because of her. She really wanted him to turn his back on his family!" Dylan continued to talk bad about Diana.

My fists were clenched tightly by my side as I listened to him say these words .

I really wanted to punch this bastard , who told him that he could talk about Diana like this?

There was one more thing that I did not understand. Why was Dylan talking to me about his former sister in law?.

We weren't close, and we were just potential business partners, there was a good chance that we wouldn't work together, so why was he telling me all of these things ?

"You know, I always suspected that she cheated on my brother, but I had no way of proving it, and so I just had to let things be. When my brother died, she was so eager to take his assets, my mother and I had to stop her. Diana is such a greedy bitch!" Dylan's eyes were filled with disdain as he said all of this.

It was getting harder and harder for me to control myself.

"She always pretended like she was so sad about my brother's death, but I am sure she was happy. You know, I heard that she had a boyfriend she broke up with just to get married to my brother. Tsk tsk, it's just so sad that until the end, my poor brother never saw her for who she relay is!"

Dylan suddenly smiled at me and he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"I am telling you these things because I don't want you to be fooled by a woman like her. She knows exactly what she's doing, so you be careful with her. She may be working as your assistant now, but I am sure she has different motives. If I were you, I'd fire her now," Dylan told me .

I finally understood why he was saying all of these things. He just wanted Diana to lose her job.

What kind of grudge did he have with her that he was trying to sabotage her like this? It didn't make sense to me at all!

"However, if you want to keep her around, I can understand why too. After all, she has a banging body. My brother must have been locked down by that body of hers otherwise, I can't see anything else he would be interested in," Dylan smacked his lips lewdly as he said this.

This was the last straw for me and I saw red. My hands were shaking, and I wanted to kill the bastard who dared to talk about Diana like this!

His eyes were filled with lust, and it was obvious that he had had these thoughts about Diana for a long time .

I raised my fists, and I was really close to connecting it with his face, however, there was a knock on the door just then, and someone walked in

Turning sharply, I came face to face with my nemesis, Diego, and I was genuinely speechless.

It took me a few seconds to go from wanting to kill Dylan, to wondering what the heck Diego was doing here.

Diego was just as startled as I was, and I was sure that he had no idea that I was going to be here, just like I had no idea that he was going to be here.

We both turned towards the person who had arranged this, and Dylan laughed awkwardly.

"Well, Chris, I was going to tell you about this. Since both of you want the land, I decided to meet you guys at the same time. To save my time, I am busy running a company, you know. Why don't you both tell me why you want the land and the offer that you're making. I'll make my choice when you're both done," Dylan said .

My lips twitched violently when I heard this. I was seriously considering if I had to have they land.

What the heck was Dylan trying to do? Did he think he was the only one who was busy here?

Did he not realise that Diego and I both had companies to run?

How could he arrange to meet us at the same time?

.......

DIANA

I stood by the sink, washing my face. However, no matter how many times I washed, I just could not seem to get rid of the memories that were forever etched into my head .

I wanted to cry, but I raised my head and blinked back the tears.

Crying was not going to do me any good. And besides, I had come so far....was it all for me to break down like this?.

Was it all for me to still be so weak after everything?.

It was just facing Dylan, how could I be breaking down so soon?

I felt disgusted with myself, and I was even more determined to face him calmly.

No matter what, I wasn't going to let him win over me.

He may have broken me in the past, but I had picked up the pieces of myself and started carving out a new life for myself .

I could not lose now, Dylan had to see that he and his mother would not stomp me down for good!
